Department of Homeland Insecurity

Per Savageduck:
More costs of 9/11.

Goods shipped from countries such as Italy, or South Korea for example,
if correctly documented, are not subject to these inspections.

Homeland Security has generated a whole new employment opportunity by
creating the Import Safety Commercial Targeting & Analysis Center
(CTAC).
In short, I would make sure that you don't get too many imports
entering the USA by road via Laredo, El Paso, or San Ysidro.

So we're protected from terrorists that don't know about the
Italy/South Korea policy.....

Must be the same mentality that is spending big bucks on a chain
link fence on the sides of the road near a New Jersey (Ocean
City...) bridge over the bay - to protect the bridge from
terrorists that can't find bolt cutters, don't know about
wrapping one end of a chain around a fence post and the other end
around the trailer hitch of a pickup truck, or don't know about
boats.

Either that or somebody's got a brother in the fence business....

Come to think of it, my money's on #2....

Geeze, I *really* hope this particular pendulum is at least
approaching the end of it's arc....
